so i am looking at this thing from a beginner's perspective. i have never gone to ACL before. ACL is basically the huge fall music show for the Austin area. SXSW is the spring one.
until now, i had always just thought of ACL as the friday that nobody is at school. until i saw the 2009 lineup. IT IS EPIC! so i had never gotten a 3 day pass to ACL because the lineup had never been good enough to warrant my $185. however, in light of discovering the God that is GirlTalk, that alone was enough to make me scour for da moneyz. and i havent even reached my main attracting point yet.
which is...my undying love for AdRock. and mainly the Beastie Boys in general. i currently have eight CDs of theirs and would almost drop out of high school to meet them. even this close to then end. luckily, i dont have to. i just have to scrap together $185 in the next couple of weeks to be able to see them in october. but seriously. seeing them here. live. in person. is going to be a religious experience. you know, if i were religious.
also, between the arctic monkeys and flogging molly, i am going to get a total dose of foreign accented punk rock music. the only thing that could top this would be to have seen Gogol Bordello at the 2008 ACL. that would have made my fucking life complete. they are so amazing. let me suffice it to say that one of the instuments that they play is the fire bucket. what the fuck, you ask? exactly.
